It's a royal opportunity to experience Charlotte's ever-expanding array of dining options and remarkable chefs, from popular favorites to new hot-spots.
Do your homework first before going to some of these restaurants.
Many do not give you good deals for the $30. Some even make their portions smaller.
Check menus on line and see if it is a good deal.
We have gotten a few great deals at restaurants that we had never visited.
Looks like some great deals. It concerns me that they have added so many chains, even if they are mostly upscale steak places. But no one is making me go to them. I've been meaning to get back to Copper and M5 for a while. Two of the most beautiful restaurants in Charlotte with great food too! Might have to make some reservations.
In the terms of service that we all agreed to upon registering

I second this advice.
Check what you will order for the $30 against the normal menu prices before you go. You may be surprised to find that it is cheaper to NOT order the 3 courses for $30.

What defines a "good deal"? I can see some of these restaurants serving smaller portions on their Restaurant Week meanus as the prices for some of these meals are significantly cheaper than the cost of a regular dinner.
I like that this event allows people an opportunity to eat at places that may normally be out of their regular dining budget, but if you're getting a three-course meal for $30 wehn the same thing would normally cost you $40, $50 or more....can't blame them.
Don't cheat me if you want me to come back when restaurant week is over. I am stingy with my money right now but will go out to dinner on occasion not during restaurant week.
Serve me the same food you normally would, don't give me a lesser quality of steak or half a piece of fish. Don't cut out the sides when they normally come with the dish. I surely would not come back.
If restaurant week is only about getting people out to try something out of their regular dining budget, then lower prices and make eating out more affordable.
Make a reservation at Chima and be DONE with it. Others may serve smaller portions and stuff like that to get the price down to the $30 range, but you WILL NOT find a better deal than at Chima. You get all the 'redizzo'(?) (servers coming around delivering different meats to your table) that you get on a regular night for about $17 cheaper.
